Book Distribution in Birmingham England
The first amazing event I will describe took place when I went out to distribute books and Ratha yatra leaflets. I went first to my favourite street to give a leaflet to Ashok, a nice Indian gentleman who lives at a house with the number 108. I visit him when I can, because he bought many books from me and he is favourable and his auspicious house number makes my day auspicious. After visiting him, I was wondering where Krishna would...

I thought of taking a break, but then decided to tolerate this and go on. Two minutes later, a young Asian passed by. I showed him Chant and Be Happy, and he stopped. I said it was a book about stress. He said he didn't speak English and that he had to report back to the cruise...

I'm a traveling monk. Can I...

I stopped a boy in his late teens who was wearing a black cap saying: “Enjoy Coke” (cocaine). I adjusted my language to best...

My son was tired, so we had a leisurely stroll without any major interactions except when he wanted to pick up a stick and walk with it. He was quietly observing. He poked the stick here and there. As we reached closer to home, my son, very tired by now, insisted on being picked up....
